North Hayward is a walkable neighborhood near downtown shops

North Hayward is a bustling neighborhood within walking distance of Hayward's vibrant downtown district. Residents head out their front doors and into an urban streetscape that's full of early 20th century homes, apartment buildings, and local restaurants and shops. It’s also close to several major highways, making it popular with Bay Area commuters. “We get a lot of buyers who can afford a home, but can’t necessarily afford to live in San Jose, Fremont or the Peninsula. It’s got great access to all of those places though, but at a much lower price," says Realtor Beverly Hardy of Re/Max Accord, who has worked in the area for more than 35 years. It's about 5 miles to the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, which offers a quick route across the San Francisco Bay and into Silicon Valley.

Early 20th century homes, new apartments and condos

North Hayward’s tight city streets unfold with rows of eclectic, early 20th century style homes. Largely built out between the 1920s and the 1950s, there’s a wide array of California bungalows, ranch-style homes, Craftsman homes and Mediterranean Revival style builds on display. “These are not cookie cutter houses,” Hardy says. Lots sizes are typically on the smaller side, but there’s still plenty of room for landscaping, gardening and backyard parties. Well-maintained sidewalks, manicured front lawns and parallel parked cars are a common sight throughout the neighborhood. Home prices typically range from around $800,000 to $1.3 million depending on the home’s size, age and renovation status. Newer apartment buildings and condos can also be found here, including Mesa Verde, a gated condo complex with modern amenities like a community swimming pool. Condo prices range from around $400,000 to $700,000.
